cup

In the heraldic tradition, the vase and similar vessels are considered symbols of fertility. The cup, covered or uncovered, is also sometimes representative of the chalice used in the communion or the Mass. On the other hand, the chalice used in the Eucharist may be symbolic of a layman's interest in church government. It may also be used as a symbol of faith. Other vessels in heraldry include, drinking glasses, bowls, a pitcher, and pots, such as a pot of lilies.
